Last week Will and I met with Sophia's teacher, Mrs. Peeler, for our fall parent/teacher conference. Mrs. Peeler, much like Mrs. Harden, confirmed for us that Sophia is exceptionally bright. She excels at her reading tasks and is breezing through her second phonics book. She will be starting math concepts soon (probably at the beginning of the year).Mrs. Peeler couldn't stress enough that sending Sophia to public school Kindergarten would be doing her a disservice. She told us that Sophia would be bored and that she'll already be reading! In public school Kindergarten she will NOT be reading and will be learning things she already knows.
I'm all for sending her to private Kindergarten and really want her to go to Beach Manor for all day K next year. Lilly will be there next year too. Let's hope that Digital Fulcrum continues it's upward momentum.
We're really proud of all the hard work she is putting into her reading skills. You can just see the curiosity in her eyes as the words start to come alive on the pages of her books. Nana gave Sophia a Leap Frog "reader pen" handheld computer that allows her to drag the attached pen across the words and the system reads the story out loud to her. I really hope I can find some compatible books/cartridges. I need to take the system with me so I know exactly what I'm looking for because every time I'm out and I think of it, I can't remember what we have. Some refer to this condition as "MommyBrain".
